12:42 pm
>> you know, i'm trying not to laugh because that rationale he shared with us is so freaking bogus i can't believe he was coached to say that. we saw him use that word outside of the locker room in a public space. he was thumbping around and yelling the n word. for him to suggest this was something that he said only in the locker room or something that he heard a black person say so it is okay to say it. that is ridiculous. he was well coached to try to sound as sensible as possible. we have seen too much. >> so what now? he is suspended and there are these texts now. if these texts demonstrate that martin doesn't blame him, but in

12:44 pm
some believe he would be untouchable. martin. not incognito. >> a few months ago we heard video of bradley cooper screaming the n word at a country concert and i think he is on the field right now. so i think this notion of you know someone has done something and you can't come back from it, it is over blown. there are things in that interview. that would be the answer. we don't know who told incognito to be tougher. we don't know what he said about the other players who have said that he has bullied them. he has been ausecused by other players. >> so many unanswered questions. so i don't know what is going to come of this but i know that the notion that a player can't come
